Another arrest in Antigo drug investigation

Posted:

ANTIGO (WAOW) - Another person has been arrested in the Antigo drug investigation.

John Hunter, 34, of Antigo was arrested over the weekend, according to police. Online court documents show Hunter faces 26 charges of manufacturing and delivering cocaine. In addition, he also faces 24 charges of delivering and manufacturing THC. THC is the main ingredient found in marijuana.

Hunter is the latest person charged in the drug investigation that spans several counties.

In November, several people were arrested after authorities say they were involved in buying and selling marijuana. Three of them were former Antigo school district employees, while two others were involved in the Merrill school district.

In total 15 people have now been charged in connection with this drug investigation.

The Langlade County sheriff says the investigation is still ongoing. He said he does expect more charges to be filed in the near future.

Hunter appeared in court Tuesday afternoon.
